I wanted to thank Wayne and Boo Elliott for putting on an outstanding show in Knoxville this past weekend. I thought the new larger location was a success. The food options were also an improvement over past shows. I know how hard Wayne, Boo, and the few others that helped them worked to make this event a success.
I also enjoyed seeing many old friends and made a few new ones. I also saw four outstanding North Carolina Longrifles.
Thanks,
Michael Briggs

Mike, The entire "Louisiana delegation" will second your kind words to Wayne and all involved in putting on this show. It was a great show, great guns, and old friends. And thank you for letting us enjoy your great collection and sharing your vast knowledge on Carolina Rifles.
Thanks to all who were involved in putting on the show, and all who came from near and far to help make it a success.

I too want to thank Wayne and Boo (and the rest of the crew) for the hard work they did it getting things set-up for this show. Also want to thank Randall Pierce for finding such a great venue for the show, top notch facility.
Thanks again, the TN show always been my favorite and I appreciate the work it takes to make a successful long-rifle show. The only thing I would like to see changed is the distance from my home :D

I agree it was a very good show.. There were more good Southern rifles there than I ever recall seeing in one place. Had a great time talking to old friends and making some new ones. Dennis introduced me to David and John. Hope they had a great time. When you drive that far you certainly are dedicated to the hobby. Glad they got to come.. Louie

I would also like to say thanks to Wayne, Boo and all the others that help put this show on. I agree with Dennis and Louie, this show is one of my favorites and there were a many great southern guns there. Good times, good friends and for those of us that were at the show before the show in Gerald Neaves room, Hog Head Cheese and crackers. Yum Yum ;D

This reminded me of the days when Jim Moran would drag out his Bean guns & all the relics he collected in Tenn. One of the best shows that has been put on in years. Thanks Boo, Wayne, & Randal. It has a great future, now we need some younger people to start collecting!
